The best instrument for estimating temperature

The best instrument for estimating temperature is simply the creature. Evaluating the temperature by watching the fowls themselves should possibly be done when the creatures are very still, not when they are dynamic or eating. Evident pointers of unsuitable house atmosphere are: 

• Behaviour of the creatures 

• Abnormal body position 

• External variations from the norm 

• Abnormal plumage may highlight botches in house atmosphere 

• Coughing/sniffling frequencies 

• Activeness 

Estimating the temperature is the most widely recognized method for surveying the atmosphere in a house. Such an estimation can give a great deal of valuable data and isn’t costly or difficult to do. There are a few different ways of estimating the temperature: 

1. Minimum/most extreme thermometer (in each house or segment of a house) 

2. Temperature sensor (mechanized atmosphere control) 

3. Thermometers (liquor, electronic) 

4. Infrared thermometers – electronic thermometers 

Area of the thermometer 

The temperature in a house isn’t uniform and in this way, there are a few spots where the sensor ought not be set (for example it ought not be balanced near the divider or behind something which impedes the wind current) and ought not be draped excessively high in the house. Moreover, the area of the air delta and warming gear is significant in deciding the best situation for the temperature sensor. It is ideal to put it as near the creatures as would be prudent and so that the outside air passes the sensor before it arrives at the creatures. 

Prescribed temperatures for layers and ovens 

The basic temperature for layers is 20°C. For each 1°C lower than 20°C, the winged creatures require an extra 1.5 g of feed every day. The most effective temperatures for layers are between 20 – 24°C. At the point when temperatures ascend above 24°C, shell quality and egg weight will lessen. The basic temperature for ovens and raising feathered creatures is profoundly dependant on age. 

The suggested house temperatures for poultry are given in the accompanying table. 

Table 1. Suggested temperatures for ovens 

First day 32-34°C 

first week decrease 30°C 

second week decrease 26°C 

third week decrease 22°C 

fourth week decrease 20°C 

Note: These temperatures are prescribed temperatures and ought to be adjusted to nearby circumstances as essential.
